Two large advertising signs at the Cummings Cove development in Lookout Valley were vandalized Friday.

One sign was spray painted with an expletive and another had the word "Aetna" in large letters.

There has been a long-running dispute between owners of Cummings Cove and those who enjoy going up the old Aetna Mountain Road to ride off-highway vehicles. Cummings Cove personnel said they believe the vandalism was by members of that group.

Joe Blevins, a member of the off-highway vehicles group, denied the charge.
